What are some designer purse brands?

A:

Quick Answer

Top designer purse brands include Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Coach, Michael Cors, Burberry, Prada, Gucci, and Dooney and Burke. Each designer offers purses in an array of styles, sizes and colors. The purses range in price according to style and materials.

Designer purses often cost hundreds or thousands of dollars because they are made from quality materials, such as leather and brass hardware. In addition, the designers hire skilled professionals to handcraft their items.

Knock-off handbags are made to mimic the designer equivalents. Manufacturers craft them with cheaper materials and mass produce them. Consumers can tell the difference between a designer purse and a knock-off by inspecting the item. Designer handbags feature straight stitching with no loose threads, while fake versions may have sloppy or crooked stitching. Logos should feature the proper spelling of the brand. For example, a Chanel bag that reads"Chanol" is obviously not the real thing. Buyers should look for serial numbers often located inside the purse and information that indicates where it was made. The lining of designer bags is often made from materials such as silk or leather. People who purchase designer purses spend a lot of money and need to know whether or not they are buying the real thing.
